...Field and the late Henry Devereaux Whiton financed William Beebe's expeditions to the Sargasso Sea and the Galapagos Islands-with the result that there is today a Harrison Williams Volcano in the islands. He also bought the Krupp-built Vanados, then largest yacht afloat, with a cruising radius of 12,000 mi., renamed her Warrior and refitted her for his own oceanographic and pleasure purposes. In 1926, having been a widower for eleven years, he suddenly married Mona Bush, beauteous divorced wife of James Irving Bush of Winthrop, Mitchell...

Obviously if aircraft carriers, long-range submarines and large-surface ships of maximum cruising radius were abolished, Japan could neither strike at the West nor be struck at.
